 The New Vision Online : Religious parties sparked off disunity in Uganda
When Captain Frederick Lugard arrived in Buganda in 1890 to set up the suzerainty of the Imperial British East Africa Company (IBEAC) he found the centre of power in the hands of the catholic party which viewed him and the company as a threat to their entrenched position.
Lugard therefore opted to be on the side of the protestants who were loyal and intervened on their side with his troops at a critical stage of the war with the result that the catholics were defeated.
Lugard soon realised that the strength of the protestant party had been exaggerated and that they were fewer than either the catholics or muslims.

 The NEWS
While the “natives” groaned under his rule, Lugard deluded himself that “the progress which has been made is astonishing.” The “New Lugard” also self-congratulates in the same way at regular intervals, despite the sobering condition in which he has left the country.
Lugard hated “educated natives” with a matching passion for the President’s hatred of intellectuals who are not under his orbit.
Like the old Lugard, the new Lugard is “the victim of exaggerated personality, induced by the autocratic power conferred on him.” The Record stated that, “Sir Frederick lived in a world by himself… divorced …from …local sympathies and liberal aspirations….

But in the summer of 1901, while Lugard was on leave, his Deputy, Wallace, had written to the Sultan saying that the British wished to place a Resident in his capital and urging him to accept the appointment 15.
Lugard knew perfectly well that these dispatches would take well over a month to reach London and, from the way he presented the information, it is fair to assume that he hoped that even then it would pass unnoticed.
In Lugard's dispatches and telegrams, however, there is no mention of them until 23 January when he at length quoted a report that the Emir had moved out to a war camp twenty-four miles west of the City 43.

The next evidence for the continued search for unity and rationalisation in the administration of these territories was also the most important, that is, the appointment of Sir Frederick Lugard, the first High Commissioner of the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria (1900-1906), as the man to implement the amalgamation of the two protectorates.
Lugard refused to create a central secretariat, for that would eat into his personal power and bring the two protectorates together to an extent he did not consider healthy for the Northern Protectorate, which in his view, needed protection from the bliz- zard of Westernisation which was sweeping through the South.
Fourthly, Lugard had no programme of political amalgamation, that is, a system seeking to bring together the forces of the future, the new class of men produced by the impact of Western influence on Nigerian society and population.

Sir Frederick Lugard, who had previously been Commandant of the Frontier Force, was appointed to the new post of High Commissioner.
On the surface Lugard appeared to be a typical product of his class and age, but in fact he was a most unusual man. He had been educated at a public school and then, after passing through Sandhurst, had gone into the army.
But Lugard, as we have seen, could not move into Bornu in 1900, because half the troops were in Ashanti, nor yet in 1901 because of the necessity of securing his base and southern flank by first subduing Kontagora, Nupe, and Adamawa.
